Figure 5. Lipid metabolism in S. cerevisiae.

Figure 5

Simplified illustration. It is speculated that this illustration is applicable also to Z. bailii, due to the high degree of evolutionary conservation of the lipid metabolism. Boxes in bold indicate lipid classes analyzed in this study. Green/red arrows indicate a suggested higher/lower flux in Z. bailii resulting from acetic acid stress. Abbreviations: LCFA: long-chain fatty acids, LCB: long-chain base, VLCFA: very-long-chain fatty acids, G-3-P: glycerol-3-phosphate, Etn: ethanolamine. Illustration modified from [35] based on information from the Saccharomyces Genome Database (www.yeastgenome.org). For lipid nomenclature, see Table 1.
